I apologize for being slow on comments and on emails. For those who don’t know, I am an Islamicist (not and Islamist). So when things like the London bombings happen, I spend a lot of time going around and giving talks, writing briefing papers, and responding to the media. Most of what you get here are my first thoughts, and your feedback remains invaluable. I hope to catch up with most of the comments today and tomorrow.

Yee! I submit
OK, Muhajabah has been on top of the Yee case. I can’t compete. First, Yee is charged with adultery and downloading pornography, not espionage, the reason for which he was originally arrested. Then, the prosecution discovers the legal staff at Gitmo is releasing classified information to anyone who asks. Now it seems that the papers that Yee had, which were supposed to be classified, may in fact not have been classified. Curiouser and curiouser.
Kudos
Congrats are in order to two of my regular read: 1. Svend at Akram’s Razor made it on to Beliefnet’s Top 10 list of Muslim blogs. 2. Aziz is now at Beliefnet with City of Brass. This news is old, but I’m late to the party. Great job by two deserving individuals. Also, good job by Beliefnet recognizing the talent these guys represent.
